Jacquet and Alisson impress - Bournemouth v Liverpool ratings

Djordje Petrovic: Quiet first half but made a good save with his feet to keep out Bradley Barcola. No chance of stopping Isak's goal. 6Adam Smith: Good shift on his 431st appearance for Bournemouth. Largely nullified Barcola's threat. 6Antonio Silva: Settling into life in the Premier League, and this was another impressive display from the Portuguese centre-back. 6James Hill: Solid on his 50th Premier League appearance and, like Silva, kept Alexander Isak quiet until the Liverpool forward found himself in space to break the deadlock. 6Adrien Truffert: Good battle with Cody Gakpo but was sloppy in possession and was ultimately beaten by the Dutchman just before Liverpool's goal. 5Tyler Adams: A decent display but will look back at Isak's goal and wonder if he should have done better defensively. 5Alex Scott: Such a tidy player, especially in possession, and can now look forward to joining England on international duty. 6Rayan: Scored in midweek and was good to watch whenever he had the ball but didn't get on it enough. Great ball to Ryan Christie after Liverpool scored. 6Ryan Christie: Started in the absence of Justin Kluivert. Got into some good positions but failed to convert. 6Marcus Tavernier: Threatened going forward and nearly got an assist when he put in a good cross for Evanilson. 6 Evanilson: Caused problems and had a first-half flick saved by Alisson and another effort denied after the break. 6Subs:Cook (on 75, Smith): 5Brooks (on 75, Tavernier): 5Jebbison (on 75, Christie): 5Gannon-Doak (on 88, Adams)Toth (on 88, Rayan)Subs not used: Di Gregorio, Soler, Gannon-Doak, Diakite, Sanchez.Alisson: Made a great reaction save to deny Evanilson and was authoritative throughout. Integral to a crucial Liverpool clean sheet. 7Ronald Araujo: Looks comfortable defensively at right-back and has had a solid start to life at Liverpool, but didn't do much going forward. 6Jeremy Jacquet: Another composed display. Made a naive challenge early on to foul Evanilson but responded well and made some great tackles. Good in possession too. Can look forward to joining up with France. 8Virgil van Dijk: Solid again. Ensured Liverpool weren't punished for a poor first half in attack and continues to be one of their most reliable players. 7Milos Kerkez: One of three Liverpool changes from their goalless draw at Fulham. Struggled initially and was regularly targeted with the crossfield ball over his head but can't fault him for his effort. Battled throughout. 6Alexis Mac Allister: Did well to find space in midfield to open the game up after a slow start. Has had a positive start to life under Andoni Iraola. 6Dominik Szoboszlai: Played with a real purpose. Had a free-kick that went just wide in the first half and was booked just after half-time but a typical Szoboszlai performance - bar a goal from outside the box. 6Cody Gakpo: Started down the right flank and it was his quality that helped make Isak's goal as he charged down the right and put in a dangerous ball that was ultimately converted by Isak. 7Florian Wirtz: Another day when the German struggled, though he deserves credit for playing a part in the goal. His attempt was blocked by Hill and fell into the path of Isak. Has to do more. 5Bradley Barcola: Threatened in phases with a deflected shot saved in the first half. It's still early days but Liverpool want more from their marquee summer signing. 6Alexander Isak: Had such a poor game initially with a wayward effort and cross that ballooned into the stands but, like a true striker, he was in the right place at the right time and made no mistake with his finish. Already scored more Premier League goals than he did last season. 7Subs:Munoz (on 72, Barcola): 5Nyoni (on 72, Wirtz): 5Gravenberch (on 81, Szoboszlai)Koumas (on 81, Isak)Subs not used: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Tsimikas, Frimpong, Ngumoha.
